Twenty-five years ago today UNH won the 1st women's national championship in hockey over Brown on March 21, 1998 sponsored by the AWCHA (funded by the USOC and the NCAA). In the semis, UNH beat Minnesota and Brown prevailed over Northeastern. Winny Brodt was the Most Outstanding Player in the tournament which was held at the Fleet Center in Boston (the current TD Garden).
Thanks to all of the pioneering players from the '70's, '80's, '90's, and early 2000's that brought women's hockey to where it is today.
